This is because the "no change" state is not allowed within the bit length. When the data bits sent by multiple zero-power terminals at the same time have different values, the rising and falling edges of the reception cancel each other out, resulting in an uninterrupted carrier signal within the entire bit length. Since this state is not allowed, the network device uses This error can determine the specific location of the collision.

零功耗通信技术原理Principles of Zero Power Communication Technology
零功耗(Zero Power)通信采用能量采集和反向散射通信技术。零功耗通信系统由网络设备和零功耗终端构成,如图2所示。其中,网络设备用于向零功耗终端发送供能信号(也即无线电波)、下行通信信号以及接收零功耗终端的反向散射信号。作为示例,零功耗终端包括能量采集模块,反向散射通信模块以及低功耗计算模块。此外,零功耗终端还可具备存储器和/或传感器,存储器用于存储一些基本信息(如物品标识等),传感器用于获取环境温度、环境湿度等传感数据。Zero Power (Zero Power) communication uses energy harvesting and backscatter communication technology. The zero-power communication system consists of network devices and zero-power terminals, as shown in Figure 2. Among them, the network device is used to send an energy supply signal (that is, a radio wave) and a downlink communication signal to the zero-power terminal, and receive backscattered signals from the zero-power terminal. As an example, the zero-power terminal includes an energy harvesting module, a backscatter communication module, and a low-power computing module. In addition, the zero-power consumption terminal may also be equipped with memory and/or sensors, the memory is used to store some basic information (such as item identification, etc.), and the sensor is used to obtain sensing data such as ambient temperature and ambient humidity.
以下对零功耗通信的关键技术做进一步说明。The key technologies of zero-power communication are further described below.
(1)能量采集(Power Harvesting)(1) Energy harvesting (Power Harvesting)
图3是能量采集的原理图,如图3所示,能量采集模块基于电磁感应原理实现对空间电磁波能量的采集,进而获得驱动零功耗终端工作所需的能量,实现对负载电路的驱动(如对低功耗计算模块、传感器等的驱动)。因此,零功耗终端无需传统电池,实现了免电池通信。Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of energy harvesting. As shown in Figure 3, the energy harvesting module realizes the collection of space electromagnetic wave energy based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, and then obtains the energy required to drive the zero-power consumption terminal to drive the load circuit ( Such as drivers for low-power computing modules, sensors, etc.). Therefore, the zero-power terminal does not need a traditional battery, and realizes battery-free communication.
作为示例,能量采集模块是指射频能量采集模块,射频能量采集模块可以采集空间中的无线电波携带的能量,实现对空间电磁波能量的采集。As an example, the energy collection module refers to a radio frequency energy collection module, and the radio frequency energy collection module can collect energy carried by radio waves in space to realize the collection of space electromagnetic wave energy.
(2)反向散射通信(Back Scattering)(2) Back Scattering Communication (Back Scattering)
图4是反向散射通信的原理图,如图4所示,零功耗终端接收网络设备发送的无线信号(即图4中的载波),对该无线信号进行调制,即在无线信号上加载需要发送的信息,并将调制后的信号从天线辐射出去,这一信息传输过程称之为反向散射通信。Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of backscatter communication. As shown in Figure 4, the zero-power terminal receives the wireless signal sent by the network device (that is, the carrier wave in Figure 4), and modulates the wireless signal, that is, loads the wireless signal on the wireless signal. The information that needs to be sent and the modulated signal is radiated from the antenna. This information transmission process is called backscatter communication.
反向散射通信和负载调制功能密不可分,负载调制是零功耗终端经常使用的加载信息的方法。负载调制通过对零功耗终端的振荡回路的电路参数按照数据流的节拍进行调节和控制,使零功耗终端的阻抗的大小和/或相位随之改变,从而完成调制的过程。负载调制技术主要包括电阻负载调制和电容负载调制两种方式。The functions of backscatter communication and load modulation are inseparable, and load modulation is a method often used by zero-power terminals to load information. Load modulation adjusts and controls the circuit parameters of the oscillation circuit of the zero-power terminal according to the beat of the data flow, so that the magnitude and/or phase of the impedance of the zero-power terminal changes accordingly, thereby completing the modulation process. The load modulation technology mainly includes resistive load modulation and capacitive load modulation.
如图5所示,在电阻负载调制中,负载并联一个电阻,称为负载调制电阻,该电阻基于二进制数据流的控制接通或断开,电阻的通断会导致电路电压的变化,因此实现幅度键控调制(ASK),即通过调整零功耗终端的反向散射信号的幅度大小实现信号的调制。类似地,在电容负载调制中,负载并联一个电容,称为负载调制电容,该电容取代了图5中负载调制电阻,通过电容的通断可以实现电路谐振频率的变化,因此实现频率键控调制(FSK),即通过调整零功耗终端的反向散射信号的工作频率实现信号的调制。As shown in Figure 5, in resistive load modulation, a resistor is connected in parallel with the load, which is called a load modulation resistor. The resistor is turned on or off based on the control of the binary data flow. Amplitude keying modulation (ASK), that is, signal modulation is realized by adjusting the amplitude of the backscattered signal of the zero-power terminal. Similarly, in capacitive load modulation, a capacitor is connected in parallel with the load, which is called a load modulation capacitor. This capacitor replaces the load modulation resistor in Figure 5. The circuit resonant frequency can be changed by switching the capacitor on and off, thus realizing frequency keying modulation. (FSK), that is, the modulation of the signal is realized by adjusting the working frequency of the backscattered signal of the zero-power terminal.
可见,零功耗终端借助于负载调制的方式,对来波信号进行信息调制,从而实现反向散射通信过程。因此,零功耗终端具有以下显著的优点:一方面,零功耗终端不主动发射信号,因此不需要复杂的射频链路,如功率放大器、射频滤波器等。另一方面,零功耗终端不需要主动产生高频信号,因此不需要高频晶振。再一方面,零功耗终端借助反向散射通信,其传输过程不需要消耗零功耗终端自身的能量。It can be seen that the zero-power terminal performs information modulation on the incoming signal by means of load modulation, thereby realizing the backscatter communication process. Therefore, the zero-power terminal has the following significant advantages: On the one hand, the zero-power terminal does not actively transmit signals, so it does not require complex radio frequency links, such as power amplifiers and radio frequency filters. On the other hand, zero-power terminals do not need to actively generate high-frequency signals, so high-frequency crystal oscillators are not required. On the other hand, the zero-power terminal communicates through backscattering, and the transmission process does not need to consume the energy of the zero-power terminal itself.
零功耗通信的编码方式Coding method for zero-power communication
零功耗终端传输的数据,可以用不同形式的代码来表示二进制的“1”和“0”。无线射频识别系统通常使用下列编码方法中的一种:反向不归零(Non Return Zero,NRZ)编码、曼彻斯特(Manchester)编码、单极性归零(Unipolar RZ)编码、差动双相(DBP)编码、米勒(Miller)编码以及差动编码。用不同形式的代码来表示二进制的“1”和“0”,也可以理解为,用不同的脉冲信号表示0和1。以下对几种编号方式进行说明。The data transmitted by the zero-power terminal can use different forms of codes to represent binary "1" and "0". Radio frequency identification systems usually use one of the following encoding methods: reverse non-return zero (NRZ) encoding, Manchester encoding, unipolar RZ encoding, differential biphase ( DBP) coding, Miller coding, and differential coding. Using different forms of codes to represent binary "1" and "0" can also be understood as representing 0 and 1 with different pulse signals. Several numbering methods are described below.
(1)反向不归零编码(1) Reverse non-return-to-zero encoding
反向不归零编码用高电平表示二进制的“1”,低电平表示二进制的“0”,如图6所示。The reverse non-return-to-zero encoding uses a high level to represent a binary "1", and a low level to represent a binary "0", as shown in Figure 6.
(2)曼彻斯特编码(2) Manchester encoding
曼彻斯特编码也被称为分相编码(Split-Phase Coding)。在曼彻斯特编码中,某位的值是由该位长度内半个位周期时电平的变化(上升/下降)来表示的,在半个位周期时的负跳变表示二进制的“1”,半个位周期时的正跳变表示二进制的“0″,如图7所示。Manchester encoding is also known as Split-Phase Coding. In Manchester encoding, the value of a certain bit is represented by the change (rise/fall) of the level during half a bit period within the bit length, and a negative transition during half a bit period represents a binary "1". A positive transition at half a bit period represents a binary "0", as shown in Figure 7.
曼彻斯特编码在采用载波的负载调制或者反向散射调制时,通常用于从零功耗终端到网络设备的数据传输,因为这有利于发现数据传输的错误。这是因为在位长度内,“没有变化”的状态是不允许的。当多个零功耗终端同时发送的数据位有不同值时,接收的上升边和下降边互相抵消,导致在整个位长度内是不间断的载波信号,由于该状态不允许,所以网络设备利用该错误就可以判定碰撞发生的具体位置。Manchester encoding is usually used for data transmission from a zero-power terminal to a network device when carrier load modulation or backscatter modulation is used, because it is beneficial to discover errors in data transmission. This is because the "no change" state is not allowed within the bit length. When the data bits sent by multiple zero-power terminals at the same time have different values, the rising and falling edges of the reception cancel each other out, resulting in an uninterrupted carrier signal within the entire bit length. Since this state is not allowed, the network device uses This error can determine the specific location of the collision.
(3)单极性归零编码(3) Unipolar return-to-zero encoding
单极性归零编码在第一个半个位周期中的高电平表示二进制的“1”,而持续整个位周期内的低电平信号表示二进制的“0”,如图8所示。单极性归零编码可用来提取位同步信号。The high level of the unipolar return-to-zero code in the first half bit period represents a binary "1", and the low level signal that lasts for the entire bit period represents a binary "0", as shown in Figure 8. Unipolar return-to-zero coding can be used to extract bit synchronization signals.
(4)差动双相编码(4) Differential bi-phase encoding
差动双相编码在半个位周期中的任意的边沿表示二进制的“0”,而没有边沿就是二进制的“1”,如图9所示。此外,在每个位周期开始时,电平都要反相。因此,对接收端来说,位节拍比较容易重建。Any edge of the differential biphase encoding in half a bit period represents a binary "0", and no edge is a binary "1", as shown in FIG. 9 . In addition, the levels are inverted at the beginning of each bit period. Therefore, bit beats are relatively easy to reconstruct for the receiving end.
(5)米勒(Miller)编码(5) Miller (Miller) coding
米勒编码在半个位周期内的任意边沿表示二进制的“1”,而经过下一个位周期中不变的电平表示二进制的“0”。位周期开始时产生电平交变,如图10所示。因此,对接收器来说,位节拍比较容易重建。Any edge of the Miller code in half a bit period represents a binary "1", and a constant level in the next bit period represents a binary "0". A level transition occurs at the beginning of a bit period, as shown in Figure 10. Thus, bit beats are easier for the receiver to reconstruct.
(6)差动编码(6) Differential coding
在差动编码中,每个要传输的二进制“1”都会引起信号电平的变化,而对于二进制“0”,信号电平保持不变。In differential encoding, each binary "1" to be transmitted causes a change in signal level, whereas for a binary "0" the signal level remains unchanged.
零功耗终端的分类Classification of Zero Power Terminals
基于零功耗终端的能量来源以及使用方式可以将零功耗终端分为如下类型:Based on the energy sources and usage methods of zero-power terminals, zero-power terminals can be divided into the following types:
(1)无源零功耗终端(1) Passive zero power consumption terminal
零功耗终端不需要内装电池,零功耗终端接近网络设备时,零功耗终端处于网络设备天线辐射形成的近场范围内,因此,零功耗终端的天线通过电磁感应产生感应电流,感应电流驱动零功耗终端的低功耗计算模块(也即低功耗芯片电路)工作,实现对前向链路信号的解调,以及后向链路的信号调制等工作。对于反向散射链路,零功耗终端使用反向散射实现方式进行信号的传输。The zero-power terminal does not need a built-in battery. When the zero-power terminal is close to the network device, the zero-power terminal is within the near-field range formed by the antenna radiation of the network device. Therefore, the antenna of the zero-power terminal generates an induced current through electromagnetic induction. The current drives the low-power computing module (that is, the low-power chip circuit) of the zero-power terminal to work, to realize the demodulation of the forward link signal and the signal modulation of the backward link. For the backscatter link, the zero-power terminal uses the backscatter implementation to transmit signals.
可以看出,无源零功耗终端无论是前向链路还是反向链路都不需要内置电池来驱动,是一种真正意义的零功耗终端。It can be seen that the passive zero-power terminal does not need a built-in battery to drive it, whether it is a forward link or a reverse link, and is a real zero-power terminal.
由于无源零功耗终端不需要电池,因而无源零功耗终端的射频电路以及基带电路都非常简单,例如不需要低噪声放大器(LNA)、功率放大器(PA)、晶振、ADC等,因此具有体积小、重量轻、价格便宜、使用寿命长等诸多优点。Since the passive zero-power terminal does not require a battery, the radio frequency circuit and baseband circuit of the passive zero-power terminal are very simple, such as no low-noise amplifier (LNA), power amplifier (PA), crystal oscillator, ADC, etc., so It has many advantages such as small size, light weight, cheap price and long service life.
(2)半无源零功耗终端(2) Semi-passive zero-power consumption terminal
半无源零功耗终端自身也不安装常规电池,但可使用能量采集模块采集无线电波能量,同时将采集的能量存储于一个储能单元(如电容)中。储能单元获得能量后,可以驱动零功耗终端的低功耗计算模块(也即低功耗芯片电路)工作,实现对前向链路信号的解调,以及后向链路的信号调制等工作。对于反向散射链路,零功耗终端使用反向散射实现方式进行信号的传输。The semi-passive zero-power terminal itself does not install a conventional battery, but can use an energy harvesting module to collect radio wave energy, and store the collected energy in an energy storage unit (such as a capacitor). After the energy storage unit obtains energy, it can drive the low-power computing module (that is, the low-power chip circuit) of the zero-power terminal to work, realize the demodulation of the forward link signal, and the signal modulation of the backward link, etc. Work. For the backscatter link, the zero-power terminal uses the backscatter implementation to transmit signals.
可以看出,半无源零功耗终端无论是前向链路还是反向链路都不需要内置电池来驱动,虽然工作中使用了电容储存的能量,但能量来源于能量采集模块采集的无线电波的能量,因此也是一种真正意义的零功耗终端。It can be seen that the semi-passive zero-power terminal does not need a built-in battery to drive either the forward link or the reverse link. Although the energy stored in the capacitor is used in the work, the energy comes from the radio collected by the energy harvesting module. Wave energy, so it is also a true zero-power consumption terminal.
半无源零功耗终端继承了无源零功耗终端的诸多优点,因此具有体积小、重量轻、价格便宜、使用寿命长等诸多优点。Semi-passive zero-power terminals inherit many advantages of passive zero-power terminals, so they have many advantages such as small size, light weight, cheap price, and long service life.
(3)有源零功耗终端(3) Active Zero Power Terminal
有些场景下使用的零功耗终端也可以为有源零功耗终端,该类终端可以内置电池。电池用于驱动零功耗终端的低功耗计算模块(也即低功耗芯片电路)工作,实现对前向链路信号的解调,以及后向链路的信号调制等工作。但对于反向散射链路,零功耗终端使用反向散射实现方式进行信号的传输。因此,这类终端的零功耗主要体现于反向链路的信号传输不需要终端自身功率,而是使用反向散射的方式。The zero-power consumption terminal used in some scenarios can also be an active zero-power consumption terminal, and this type of terminal can have a built-in battery. The battery is used to drive the low-power computing module (that is, the low-power chip circuit) of the zero-power terminal to realize the demodulation of the forward link signal and the signal modulation of the backward link. But for the backscatter link, the zero-power terminal uses the backscatter implementation to transmit the signal. Therefore, the zero power consumption of this type of terminal is mainly reflected in the fact that the signal transmission of the reverse link does not require the power of the terminal itself, but uses backscattering.
有源零功耗终端,内置电池向射频芯片供电,以增加通信距离,提高通信的可靠性。因此在一些对通信距离,通信时延等方面要求相对较高的场景得以应用。Active zero-power consumption terminal, the built-in battery supplies power to the RF chip to increase the communication distance and improve the reliability of communication. Therefore, it can be applied in some scenarios that require relatively high communication distance and communication delay.
蜂窝无源物联网Cellular Passive IoT
随着行业应用增加,连接物的种类和应用场景越来越多,对通信终端的价格和功耗也将有更高要求。免电池、低成本的无源物联网设备的应用成为蜂窝物联网的关键技术,充实了网络链接终端类型和数量,真正实现万物互联。其中,无源物联网设备可以基于零功耗通信技术,如无线射频识别(Radio Frequency Identification,RFID)技术,并在此基础上进行延伸,以适用于蜂窝物联网。With the increase of industrial applications, there are more and more types of connected objects and application scenarios, and there will be higher requirements for the price and power consumption of communication terminals. The application of battery-free and low-cost passive IoT devices has become a key technology of cellular IoT, enriching the types and quantities of network link terminals and truly realizing the Internet of Everything. Among them, passive IoT devices can be based on zero-power communication technology, such as radio frequency identification (Radio Frequency Identification, RFID) technology, and extended on this basis to be suitable for cellular IoT.
零功耗终端需要采集网络设备发送的无线电波的能量,在获得能量后才可以驱动自身进行工作。因此,在获得能量之前,零功耗终端是处于“关机”状态的,即此时不能接收网络设备发送的信号,也不能向网络设备发送信号。Zero-power terminals need to collect the energy of radio waves sent by network devices, and can drive themselves to work after obtaining energy. Therefore, before obtaining energy, the zero-power terminal is in the "off" state, that is, it cannot receive signals sent by network devices at this time, nor can it send signals to network devices.
由于零功耗终端具有供能受限、传输数据量小、处理能力有限等特点,所以通信系统要求简单且适用。而目前的通信系统(如LTE系统和NR系统)过于复杂,不能满足零功耗终端通信的要求。Since the zero-power terminal has the characteristics of limited energy supply, small amount of transmitted data, and limited processing capacity, the requirements of the communication system are simple and applicable. However, the current communication systems (such as LTE system and NR system) are too complex to meet the requirements of zero-power terminal communication.
